Antimicrobial resistance: Article collection 2024
This week the UN General Assembly is convening a High-Level Meeting on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) for the second time. This meeting is an important opportunity for world leaders to collectively address the looming threat AMR poses to global health, food security, and achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
To help raise awareness of the threat of AMR, we have compiled this collection of recent articles on the topic from our two journals.
AMR threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi.
AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. As a result, the medicines become ineffective and infections persist in the body, increasing the risk of spread to others.
